The simple fact that my ancient Sony SLT-A65 is set to M maybe excludes me from your notion of amateur without including me in your notion of professional ;-)

My guess is that professionals need to take a lot of photos, process them quickly; and probably show their clients what they are doing, while they are doing it.
- Fwirt 5y agoI guess 2011 could be considered ancient now... My SL1 (100D) is from 2013 but I never thought of it that way. Of course it's a crop sensor so I guess that puts me solidly in the amateur category, but I also enjoy shooting manual. (More often than not I end up ruining shots because of it though...) In my mind there are different kinds of professionals. Some, as you say, like to process lots of photos quickly. My sister-in-law shoots weddings semi-professionally and has Lightroom presets that she has built out to give her a quick jumping off point for the style that she likes, and sifts through hundreds of photos per session. Others spend a long time tweaking one or two exposures to frame or publish. Of course, if there was only one correct workflow, then we wouldn't have articles like this!
